“Right to Die”?

Posted by Eric at 1:48 pm. Filed under: General

The Associated Press has this headline: House Enters Schiavo Right-To-Die Case, and the story proceeds to discuss the intervention of the HoR in the Schiavo case.

But… “Right to Die“? How about “Right to Live“?

Anyway, here’s the story:

Congress was immersed Thursday in the controversy over removing the feeding tube from a brain-damaged Florida woman whose husband has been given permission by a state court to let her die.

Within hours of the Republican-controlled House’s passage of a bill to block the removal of Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., announced the Senate would take up a seperate bill to address the situation before leaving for its Easter recess on Friday.

“The question is, should we allow her to be starved to death?” Frist said Thursday in a Senate speech. “It has to do with the culture of life. And I believe this body is going to have to speak on this particular matter before we leave.”
